Step 2 – Locate 1 Web Article
1) Place a heading at the top of your page to include:
- Your Name
- Course Title
- Professor’s Name
- Assignment Title
- Today’s Date
2) Name your topic. For example, Iron Work. (See Step 1 if you have forgotten your topic.)
3) Search the internet / web for 1 article on your chosen topic. You may use a subpar source because it is valuable to determine why a source is not a good source. However, some sites are not allowed for this assignment for any reason.
– See Content: Source Evaluation: Step 2: Locate 1 Web Article: Unsuitable Websites. The list of Unsuitable Websites also appears under Week 2 Assignments: Step 2 – Week 2: Locate 1 Web Article.
Reminder: Do not use encyclopedias, and do not use book reviews. There is nothing wrong with such sources as a general reference, but they do not go deep enough for academic research.
4) Provide the following for both you and your professor to be able to locate your Web source.
· author
· article title
· journal title
· link – Use the Stable URL provided on JSTOR and EBSCO sites.
5) Use the rubric at the end of Submit Your Assignment as a checklist while you work and again before you turn it in.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask your professor.
Assignments must be submitted as a Word document. This means that the file name will end in .doc or .docx as in the following example: Johnson_Step_1.doc.
If there is a problem with this requirement, contact your professor.
6) When you have completed and proofread your work, submit your work for feedback and grading as a .doc or .docx.
